Hi Arthur,

We presently do not write beyond the NASAT. Either email should work, though I can’t find any messages from you.

AKKOLADE

If you study packets, assuming you remember all information within them, you should be able to convert a lot of tossups by the for ten points mark, and ten and twenty most bonuses. If it’s just the two of you, have a discussion about what categories interest you and divvy them between the two of you...

I'm pleased to announce that Vishwa Shanmugam has been selected as the 2020 NASAT Head Editor. He will do a wonderful job producing this set.

AKKOLADE

I've just emailed 30+ prospective hosts for NASAT. I hope to have a site announced by the end of the year. My goal is to not be in Lexington this year.

AKKOLADE

I haven’t really felt like posting in this thread, but since Will continues to attack me in public channels, I guess I’m here now. I did argue against Will’s induction into PACE. I did this in a private forum. My biggest concern with Will’s admission to PACE was my understanding of an incident [non-...

If you are interested in hosting, please contact me.

AKKOLADE

Applicants have one more week to apply.

I don’t think it is, but is it Lovesong by The Cure?

Are there still any plans for an online mirror?

Someone told me they were interested in hosting an online mirror and then ghosted on me. I'm hoping that he'll decide to get in contact with me again.

I'm pleased to announce that Rutgers will be hosting a mirror on August 17th.

AKKOLADE

If you would be interested in hosting an online mirror of NASAT, please contact me at fred@iqbtnasat.com.

AKKOLADE

No luck yet but I'll see what I can do.

AKKOLADE

If anyone needs anything for this weekend’s mirrors, please contact Jakob Myers. Hosts should have received the set already.

AKKOLADE

I'm behind on NASAT things due to a variety of non-quiz bowl issues, but I encourage anyone with feedback to email me at fred@iqbtnasat.com with feedback on moderators or anything else related to this year's NASAT.

AKKOLADE

3 more mirrors have been added. Working on a couple of online ones.

There will be. TBA.
Any updates on this? I think we olds would appreciate getting practice on an all-category tournament before CO.

Sorry; a family member had a medical emergency the week after NASAT, so that & work has kept me busy. I will be trying to get this set up soon.

AKKOLADE

Nope, just an error. Sorry. It’s been corrected.

AKKOLADE

There will be. TBA.

I had a buzzer left behind this weekend. I think it’s one of those Andersons with the black cloth bag. It has no way of identifying whose buzzer it was on the system. Another team could not find their buzzer. It looked essentially the same as the first buzzer, but it was put in a bag which was then ...

AKKOLADE

Could we get an update on the list of mirrors? I know that WuStl is hosting one next weekend and I would like to see if there are any more mirrors that have been confirmed. I mistakenly left out the WUStL one. That’s been corrected. At this time, these are the only confirmed mirrors per my notes. I...

A partial list of things to do this weekend outside of the tournament.

ATTN: Team Ohio: I need the chaperone/primary team contact for your teams to email me. Tyler Benedict's email is set up to be away until August, so unless he's still checking that, the info needs to be going somewhere.

AKKOLADE

I have just sent the first information email to teams.

AKKOLADE

I'm capping the field at 24 for now. If you are interested in coming, you are not in the field, and you have not contacted me yet, please do so ASAP by emailing me at fred@iqbtnasat.com. I will be starting a waitlist if necessary.

I believe Virginia has settled on bringing two teams, which I believe will bring us to a final tally of 24 teams.
